Politics podcast: Civil War edition

Domecast, The News & Observer’s weekly podcast on government and politics in North Carolina, is ready for the weekend of Aug. 26-27.

UNC declined to remove Confederate statue Silent Sam from its campus, rejecting both the demands of protesters and advice from Gov. Roy Cooper.

Our reporter panel talks about the uncertain fate of North Carolina's Civil War monuments, as well as new political maps, efforts to override Cooper's vetoes and a key lawmaker's claim that Cooper is trying to expand his power.

The panel picks a Headliner of the Week. Lynn Bonner of The News & Observer hosts, with Will Doran, Andy Specht and Jane Stancill of the N&O.
